CoLab: A workshop-based undergraduate research experience for entering college students.

ABSTRACT: The goal of undergraduate chemistry laboratories is to allow students to learn about chemical systems and key laboratory skills. They should then apply this knowledge to solve problems and connect macroscopic observations in the laboratory with those occurring at the submicroscopic level. Unfortunately, these needs are not met through traditional confirmation labs. Therefore, many chemistry instructors are turning towards research-based labs course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). There are also many cases where summer workshops, often with non-traditional pedagogy, are used for students. This article describes the STEM CoLab Program, a novel type of summer workshop that seeks to build student chemistry knowledge and skills in research and presentation at the beginning of
